Despite attraction and a strengthening relationship, they know they shouldn’t take things further.<br><br>But there’s a big difference between knowing and doing.<br><br>Their growing love presents a problem, though not the one they expect. Blake and Derek have to decide if they should take their relationship to the most permanent level -- an unbreakable metaphysical bond. Doing so offers both risk and unimaginable reward. Can Blake let go of his fears and put his complete trust in Derek in order to have the happily ever after he’s always craved?

Ghost of a Chance

Blake’s reactions went far deeper than just a coworker offering a welcome gift, even if they had spent the past few days constantly in each other’s space. They had definitely become friends, but that was too weak an explanation for both his and Blake’s reactions to the gift.


For his part, Derek was sure of the truth. He wanted Blake in every sense of the word, and he decided right then and there that if Blake was the least bit receptive, he was going to have him.


There were all sorts of reasons why it was smarter to refrain from taking their relationship to that kind of level. Derek was well aware just how bad it could get if things went wrong between them. At the same time, Derek was sure it wouldn’tgo bad, that if they gave what was brewing between them a real chance, if they were smart and careful, he and Blake would find something real and lasting.
